  • Dimensions

    101cm high x 92cm wide x 50cm deep

  • Condition

    There are various minor knocks and marks commensurate with age and use. There are some small losses to the paintwork and wearing to the gilt on the top. There is some separation of the planks to the sides. There is craquelure to the lacquer, particularly on the left hand side which has probably been exposed to sun. There is no key but everything is unlocked and all locks are still present. There is a small piece of moulding missing approx. 1" long at the back of the left hand side. The drawers run smoothly and the joints are sound. Overall the piece is in very good decorative and functional order.

  • Time period

    Late 19th/ early 20th century
